ThoughtWorks Announces Free Tier for Snap Continuous Delivery Service

April 15, 2014 - Chicago, IL

Making Continuous Delivery Business as Usual

ThoughtWorks, a
global technology company, announced today the availability of a free usage
tier of Snap™, a Continuous Delivery service.
Snap allows individuals and organizations to start their
Continuous Delivery journey for free. Additionally, Public and Open Source
projects enjoy unlimited access and support for all usage tiers.

Modern software
development teams face the challenge of iteratively delivering high quality
software at a rapid pace with low risk. Continuous Delivery, which extends
Continuous Integration practices into the entire build-test-release cycle,
helps teams meet this challenge. Continuous Delivery tools support tiered testing,
infrastructure automation and workflow management. Snap dramatically reduces the effort required for teams to get into the cadence of
releasing working software regularly.

“In my
discussions with companies implementing Continuous Delivery, by far the biggest
item missing is the basic practice of Continuous Integration; triggering
compilation and unit testing on every change. I love that I can point them at
Snap and know that they'll come away with much more than basic Continuous
Integration”, said Tim Brown, Continuous Delivery Practice Lead, North America,
ThoughtWorks. “Snap examines your project and creates a pipeline containing
multiple feedback loops that are optimized for the product you're building.
It's as close to ‘zero setup’ as I've seen.”

"Snap was
the perfect fit for us at Escape the City. Snap was incredibly easy to set up
and saved us precious time and resources that would have otherwise been spent
piecing together, and subsequently maintaining, our own Continuous Delivery
solution," said Chris Bushell, CTO of Escape the City.
